> All I look at and all I see today is these kids with their wizbangs who 
> don't understand CRAP about emulsions or how to mix up a batch of hypo and 
> all their photos are CRAP pictures of idiots on skateboards and young 
> women (??????) with metal things in their faces, this isn't photography, 
> it's GARBAGE. These people should be in JAIL. I have to ask: WHERE ARE 
> THEIR PARENTS? If my daughters had ever come home looking like that, my 
> wife and I would have taken care of it QUICK. The great photographers, 
> Seieglitz, Eisendstaedt, Cartier-Bresson, Lewis Hine, Smith (who was GENE 
> to me), wouldn't tolerate this, so why are we? These people don't 
> understand anything about capturing the MOMENT, all they care about is 
> where they're going to get their next DRUG HIGH. EOS stands for BRAIN 
> DEAD, and NIKON stands for CRAP. The F was a good camera and then they 
> were FINISHED.

> I take my cameras out and I make PHOTOGRAPHS, the camera i use, LEICA, 
> makes me THINK about the photographs before I take them. I compose them in 
> my mind, and capture them on film, and then I develop this film and PRINT 
> it in my DARKROOM. Today's kids brains have been destroyed by auto-idiot 
> cameras and they don't understand anything. Which is why their 
> "photographs" are so bad. The so called "digital" is not photography. 
> PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE CREATION OF AN IMAGE ON FILM. My Leica cameras will 
> last for another one-hundred years, and if I am not around to use them, 
> then my grandchildren will use them and they will be just as capable as 
> producing PHOTOGRAPHS then as they are now.
